Top tips for renting a car in Michigan

  • Similar to the rest of the country, drink-driving is not tolerated in Michigan. Police can pull you over at will to ensure you are not over the limit. If you are found to be above the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08% then you will be prosecuted accordingly. This means that you might be fined, banned from driving, or even imprisoned. It’s advised that you avoid drinking well in advance of getting behind the wheel.
  • If you are travelling with kids, then you must follow the car seat laws in this state. For example, children that are younger than eight and less than 149 cm will need to be in a suitable car or booster seat. If the child is 8 years of taller than this, they do not have to be in any form of child seat. You can request that your car hire agency provides you with adequate seating before you set off. This normally comes at an extra cost.
  • You should be able to drive your hire car across state and country borders without issue. However, in order to do so, you must request that your car hire company provides written permission. Without this, your insurance will most likely be voided, and you might be rejected entry across the border. If you are crossing a border, you must also ensure that you have the right type of visa to do so.
  • You can pay for your car hire in Michigan with a credit card, which is universally accepted and the preferred payment method of car hire companies. Some agencies will also accept debt cards from major providers. There are even a few agencies, such as Dollar, that accept cash payments. However, these are only accepted when combined with a credit card that they will use as a security deposit until you return.
